haha im a honda guy too, use to own a mad fast suoped up turboed 1.6L lol. did haul *** tho, major haulage. hondas are nothing like our nissan. forget your honda, its gone now and those headaches are over. go order a new intake manifold gasket for the top, and order one for the throttle body. dont re use that old crap its junk. take everything you did and re do it. take off every part put on , re do whole install. make sure u dont mess with the MAF sensor, its important. did u make sure to unplug ur battery b4 ur install? thats important too.

Although it can certainly be a leak, I'm thinking its more likely to be throttle body calibration related.

Scroll down to the bottom page of this link and try the reset procedures shown.

It can be very helpful in situations like yours.

ok no didn’t miss with the MAF sensor….but I did disconnect it when I was checking for any leaks in the hoses and none but I did reconnect the MAF sensor back in place and the old gasket back a place but DIDNT use the copper spray…the prior owner of the car had a injen cold air intake lmao suck up hella gunk build up over time going to post the pic of the dirt that **** did to the manifold build up like not changing the spark plugs, collocate brown oil , oil filter, and I think it still had the original belts from the factory hella cracking and **** barely notice the Nissan imprint.. what I have listed is what I have had done to the car in two week of own my z period to working a fulltime shift every day only had 3 days off using that time to clean and maintaining the to car up to date and that including the xmas I was working on the car that...lol

First off never reuse gaskets, I don't care what people say don't be cheap. You do it once and you do it right. I own a mechanic shop and will never reuse gaskets. Second when you start it and the throttle jumps high, it sounds like something maybe stuck open hard to tell. And finally you need to use a real diagnostic computer to check your ecu and see what the hell is going on. Not some junk autozone CEL reset tool junk lol. Hope this helps and sober up before your F your **** up!

P0507 Idle Speed Control System

Its probably throttlebody calibration.

Do the reset procedure linked above. If that doesn't fix it, you may have damaged your throttlebody during the cleaning process. ...they are very sensitive.
